Whats
even better than subject matter is the focal point being
everywhere. tugging around from the distance to the foreground,
the details working together...........don't know if it was
intentional, but it sure works for me.......no strick rules
.......cool kind of zen lighting...

It is
quit amazing how I - again and again - am attracted to this art
piece, because of its very strong relationship between dark and
light. It reveils the beauty that i am looking for.
Congratulations.

I've
been to your site to see the whole painting...and I love the
individual close ups of the details in their own right....such
as the detail you've displayed here. I like it when the colour
& composition start to become more dominent than the
subject matter, which is why I prefer them to the finished
work. Simon :)

This
painting reminds me of those great early American
painters... ..who painted all those wonderful panoramic
vistas... I've seen similar views in the mountains of New
Hampshire where... . . the world is so far away and time
just seems .... . . .to stop... There's peace in this
picture...but the presence of man is hinted at... ..with
the inclusion of that fence...

Barbara, Thank you for a beautiful picture of “real”
artistic ability. Your art does not need to seek sanctuary
behind a terminology. The chosen paint, brushwork, the
support and not least your ability has class.
